Happ for iPhone and iPad
Happ for iPhone and iPad is a native Swift client for connecting to your own servers through Xray-core. You install it only through the App Store or TestFlight.
The main difficulty on iOS is not the installation but finding the app. The app is tied to the App Store region, and in the Russian store other developers' apps appear under the name Happ.
There are no servers inside the app. After installing it you will need a key or a subscription, which you get from a provider or set up yourself.

Builds and system requirements
| Build | Technology | Minimum OS version |
|---|---|---|
| Happ - Proxy Utility from the App Store | Native Swift app, App Store; iPhone, iPad and iPod touch | iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 or newer |
| Beta in TestFlight | Swift, test builds through the TestFlight app | iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 or newer |
Which build to choose
For everyday use, install Happ - Proxy Utility from the App Store. It is the stable version, and updates arrive through the App Store.
You need TestFlight if you want to try new features early, or if the version you need is available only as a beta. The documentation has two links: a global one and one marked “Rus”.
TestFlight builds are temporary: Apple limits the lifetime of a test build to 90 days, after which you need to install a new beta or switch to the App Store version.
If your Apple ID is registered in a region where the app is not found, the App Store will not show it in search. You change the account region in your Apple ID settings, following Apple's rules.
How to make sure the file is official
Open the app from the documentation link
Go to the App Store using the link apps.apple.com/us/app/happ-proxy-utility/id6504287215 from the download table, rather than through search. That takes you to the page of the official app.
Result: The Happ - Proxy Utility page opens.
Check the developer
The developer Flyfrog LLC must be listed under the app name. Scroll the page down to the Information section and make sure the seller there is the same.
Result: The developer and seller are Flyfrog LLC, and the app is free.
Compare compatibility and version
The Compatibility section must list iPhone, iPad and iPod touch with iOS 15 or newer. Check the number in the version history: on 2026-09-27 it is 5.9.0.
Result: The requirements and version match the documentation.
How to update Happ
Happ from the App Store updates automatically if app updates are turned on under Settings → App Store. To update manually, open the Happ page in the App Store and start the update there.
The TestFlight beta updates through the TestFlight app. You can also turn on automatic installation of new test builds there.
Subscriptions are kept during an update, because the app is replaced in place. If you delete Happ, its data is removed with it, and you will have to allow the VPN configuration in iOS again.

Frequently asked questions
Why is Happ missing from the Russian App Store?
According to iTunes API data on 2026-09-27, the official Happ - Proxy Utility app from Flyfrog LLC is not found in the Russian App Store. The documentation for Russia lists separate links to “Happ Lite”, but iTunes API does not return those either. Apple and the developer decide where an app is available, so the situation may change over time.
How do I tell the real Happ from a fake in the App Store?
Look at the developer name under the app title. For the official Happ - Proxy Utility it is Flyfrog LLC. The Russian App Store has apps with the word Happ from other companies, for example “Happ VPN Official” from SPK TECH LTD and “Happ VPN ++” from INTRADEI TOV. Those are not the official Happ.
How do I install the Happ beta through TestFlight?
Install Apple's TestFlight app from the App Store. Then open one of the documentation links on your iPhone: the global one or the one marked “Rus”. TestFlight shows Happ with an Accept button, followed by Install. The developer limits the number of beta slots, so a link sometimes says the beta is full.
Does Happ work on an iPhone running iOS 14?
No, the minimum version is iOS 15. On an iPhone with iOS 14 the App Store will not install the current version. Apple sometimes offers the last compatible older version if one exists, but you should not count on it. Updating iOS is more reliable, because every model that supported iOS 14 also received iOS 15.
Is there a separate Happ version for iPad?
There is no separate app. Happ - Proxy Utility is compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, and on iPad its interface adapts to the larger screen. The requirements are the same: iPadOS 15 or newer. If you already downloaded Happ on an iPhone with the same Apple ID, it appears in your App Store purchase list on the iPad.
Do I have to pay for Happ on iPhone?
The app is free in the App Store. Happ does not sell servers or provide a VPN service: it is a client that connects to your own server or to a provider's server. You may only need to pay for access to the servers themselves if your provider charges for it. Happ itself does not collect data, and information stays on your device.
Can I download Happ for iPhone as an IPA file?
There are no official IPA files for iPhone: the documentation offers only the App Store and TestFlight. IPA files from other websites require third-party installation methods, their origin cannot be verified, and such builds may have been modified. For iPhone, use only the links from the documentation's download table.
